Bathing across borders – Observations from the Eastern sauna zone

The exhibition by photographer David Jacob presents photographs taken from the Republic of Karelia, Vyborg and Saint Petersburg.

Bathing across borders – Observations from the Eastern sauna zone is a book project funded by the Kone Foundation. Its aim is to map the public sauna culture of Northwest Russia, the Baltics, Ukraine and Belarus in all its forms.

The project roams through public saunas with a wide range, from men’s turn to women’s, from downtown to metro terminuses, from historic neighborhood saunas to modern wellness complexes and from endearing old-time nooks to more shady corners. The main criteria is that at certain times, for a fee, the sauna is open for everyone. Between steams we observe the local variations of sauna culture: whisking rituals, sauna snacks and drinks, the unwritten rules of the washroom and the rhythm of creating steam. Meanwhile, we bear in mind that sauna culture is not its own separate bubble but instead reflects the recent history of Eastern Europe, the changes in its urban landscapes, and the variations and possible tensions in the neighboring relationships.

UTOPIA CONSULTATION

What is your dream today? What is impossible? What does utopia mean to you today?

Utopia Consultation is a performative form of encounter between two people. The purpose of the consultation is to open up utopian perspectives and possibilities into one’s everyday life, identity or certain situation. Every consultation is unique: the form and focus of the dialogue depends on the questions or issues the customer brings with them. Consultations progress in dialogue with consultant and spectator and impossible things become possible, with the help of artistic tools and methods.

Utopia Consultant is an artist who quides spectators to observe reality from different and divergent perspectives and helps them to find new ways of thinking, seeing and existing in this reality. Utopia Consultation is suitable for people of all ages and walks of life.

Utopia Consultant: Talvikki Eerola. Duration: 30 min - 1 hour

Utopia Consultant is available on Friday from 6 pm to 9 pm and on Saturday from 12 pm to 4 pm. You can book your personal consultation session at the festival area.
